Lillian Bennett
Taken from us too soon, Lillian died at 17 years-old on September 25 following a tragic accident.
Lillian was surrounded by her loving family when she passed at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto.
Though her life was brief, her memory lives on in her friends and family.
Lillian will be remembered by her loving parents, Melanie and Andrew, and her beloved siblings, Brandon, Cody, Drew, Ethan, and Sayde.
Lillian lived her life true to herself and was always thinking of others. Ever since she was a little girl she wished and planned to become an orthopedic surgeon.
When she received her G-1 license she made the courageous decision to donate her organs. Her wish came true and she was able to give the world to 6 others in need. She will live on in all of our hearts, our beloved firecracker.
The family would like to thank the staff at Sunnybrook Hospital for their compassion and care during Lillian’s last hours. And the staff at Trillium Gift of Life for making her the most important person in the world.
